Along The Journey River
Carole Lafavor
Teacher Renee LaRoche lives and works among her fellow Red Earth Ojibwa on Minnesota’s northern plains. She turns amateur sleuth when priceless ceremonial artifacts are missing and the tribal chief is found with a bullet in his back. Her white lover, Samantha, who already wonders whether love will ever bridge the cultural gap between them, soon despairs of diverting Renee from an increasingly dangerous path of investigation. ‘Suits’ (i.e., the FBI investigators responsible for Indian affairs) come to complicate the case, yet Native American wisdom prevails. Meanwhile, readers will learn Ojibwa words of greeting and blessing as they enjoy a lesbian mystery that adds some cultural diversity to that subgenre.
